Summary Password: New secure text field allows non-Roman text entry

The engine-based <input type="password"> allow using any input source for text entry. The Cocoa secure text fields always disable the Hebrew keyboard layout (and if it is selected, switches to the U.S. layout). I tried a few other keyboard layouts and input methods, and it seemed like Hebrew was the only one not allowed in the Cocoa widget, so I am not sure what the rule is (or whether this is a Cocoa bug rather than a feature, as I always thought it was). I think it is best, at least on the Mac, to match the native widget's behavior, if you can figure it out.

I think it's a feature, and actually, Russian also gets disabled in Cocoa password fields. I'm not quite sure about how AppKit achieves that (other than that the current implementation probably looks at the script code).

The NSSecureTextField only allows Roman scripts, so I'm updating the title of this bug
